to further explain what Pierson said
As far as the regionals go, once you have earned your money bought your shirt and arranged to stay in Seattle with the group if you wish to you are basically going to regional. This system works because we only go to one regional and it is only a hour to an hour and a half drive for parents (some students have been known to get there a bit faster...but that's another story). Just because you come to the regionals doesn't mean you get a job at the regionals however and most of the time as it turns out people who don't have a job there just don't come. With a team of only about 30 students signed up and 12 who usually come it isn't a very large issue.
Nationals...the last time we went to nationals was two years before I joined. Sorry I don't know how it was done but since we still have one mentor from that time I'll ask him tomorrow at our meeting for you and see if he remembers.
